Wright Group Event Services, Denver

For Wright Drink Bartending School's international team of instructors, fun isn't just an experience they have, it's something they create. With classes that teach the fundamentals of mixology and general bartending practice, the school prepares beginning mixers to fuel fun-filled nights for customers at any local watering hole. They don't skimp on the preparation material either, giving students only industry-standard equipment and forcing them to learn through hands-on courses behind a real bar. The staff also offers lessons for bar owners, including crafting higher profit margins and maintaining inventory and controls. Classes are also affected by the season, with mixed drinks that rotate by seasonally available ingredients, from mint in the spring to snowman heart in the winter.
